mac using a microphone does not work in java

We are trying to develop an application which records audio through an
applet using a microphone (it is signed, and works fine on a PC). We
would like to support mac.

But mac does not supply power to the microphone jack (if one exists),
so we decided on USB.

But when we plug in a UCB mic, java does not recognize it in the list
of mixers/lines in.

The application works fine if we have a battery powered condenser
microphone.

So I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with a
mac? or if I am missing something?

Thanks

Kal
